What is the life of the offspring of businessmen, can you envy them or not? Children of we althy parents do not deny themselves anything: they relax in elite clubs and at the best resorts, purchase luxury clothes and vehicles, have huge mansions and apartments. What are the features of such life support or what it is fraught with - will be discussed in this article.
Responsibility
Children of we althy parents do not just spend their lives being the most enviable, "golden" brides and grooms. Over time, they bear all the hardships and troubles and responsibility for the business that their ancestors developed. They have to work hard, continuing the work of their fathers and mothers, because even with every effort, you can easily get into trouble, and then all the works of previous generations will be buried.
Usually, children of we althy parents from a very early age are prepared to adequately continue the family business: they study in goodand schools and universities corresponding to future studies, practice, enter into business in advance. The magazine "SEO" has identified the richest heirs of millionaires. I had to calculate the capital and divide it by the number of children in each such family.
Rating
In the place of the leader of this rating, the children of rich parents change quite often. Victoria Mikhelson, the most desirable bride in Russia, and quite possibly the world (Novatek, Leonid Mikhelson, Chairman of the Board), or Yusuf Alekperov, the heir to Lukoil, are at the first stage.
Those who are ready to take risks become richer from time to time, and Mikhelson invests in various and numerous areas - development, petrochemical companies, and Alekperov's son clearly follows in the footsteps of his father: he graduated from an oil and gas university, worked in the fields from a worker to a technologist and engineer. So he knows exactly how oil is produced.
Third and beyond
Not all children of we althy parents in Russia are ready to engage in family business. And closes the top three "golden" heirs Polina Galitskaya - the daughter of Sergei Galitsky, the owner of the "Magnet" network and the Krasnodar football club. The volume of revenue and the number of stores of this trading network are significantly ahead of its main competitors. Polina, according to forecasts, is going to become an economist, that is, she will be able to continue her business if she has such a desire.
Roman Abramovich is also preparing his replacement in the person of his eldest son. However, children in the Abramovich familythere are many, and their number is growing, so they cannot take high places in the ranking of heirs. Nevertheless, daughter Leia is not in vain called the golden child of the planet: her father's expenses for her birth were not limited to several hundred million dollars.
Secrets
Personal life and information about the family are most often kept secret by businessmen, it is almost impossible to find out about many and perhaps the richest heirs. But there are also "golden" children of rich parents who do not shy away from publicity. It is no secret that the owner of Chelsea gave his son Arkady before he was of age up to forty percent of the shares of Zoltav Resources Inc, and most recently he acquired shares in CenGeo, an oil company in Western Siberia. And everyone knows that Anastasia and Ivan Potanin, the children of Vladimir Potanin, president of Interros, became famous thanks to sports.
The richest Russian is Alisher Usmanov, but his children - legal heirs - do not get into the rating of the richest, because journalists divide the parents' capital by the number of children. In this case, Anton Viner is the billionaire's stepson, and Babur Usmanov is his nephew, but both of them lay claim to Metalloinvest's fortune. The list of the richest heirs, like all ratings, is very conditional, if only because the number of children in the families of millionaires is steadily increasing, therefore, they all receive an ever smaller share of the inheritance with each replenishment. The fact that parents can write a will in favor ofone of the children and not even leave anything to anyone.
Heirs
Judging by the information on social networks, including visually confirming the facts of Instagram, the life of the children of we althy parents is pure pleasure. They travel a lot, most often use private jets, fly to luxurious resorts to relax, buy all kinds of brands in bulk - in short, they do not deny themselves anything.
Moreover, they want the world to know about this way of life in all details. One hundred thousand subscribers of Rich Kids of Instagram are closely watching the appearance of new photos, which show not their gray everyday life, but the triumph of golden youth - the heirs of multi-million and multi-billion dollar fortunes who live all over the world. How do the children of we althy parents dress? Peers cannot lose interest in savoring the details of the unattainable.
Life on display
While their fathers do not have time to demonstrate the external paraphernalia of their own we alth, the young shoots are throwing dust in their eyes with might and main, and the dust, of course, is "golden": these are private helicopters on the roofs, luxury cars, swimming pools in inhabited high-rise buildings, luxury resorts, private clubs. Handmade shoes and designer clothes are how the children of we althy parents dress. Everything related to the differences between their lifestyle and the average, and do not list.
Alcohol can be moved to a separate topic. When champagne flows like water at the cost of many thousands of euros per bottle, these are clearly not ordinary teenagers. Online"Instagram" on each still life you can see the characteristic yellow labels on the bottles. The captions for the pictures are appropriate, sometimes even almost without grammatical errors: "This is not a boyfriend, do not worry, this is my butler (butler)", "I miss St. Tropez" and "Bentley" on a snowy road.
The habit of envy
Negativity, of course, pours into such ostentatious demarches, as if from a cornucopia. But the heirs of large capitals are not only accustomed to this state of affairs - it even flatters them. Girls and boys rocking private parties, celebrating birthdays with multimillion-dollar investments in pop and rock stars on distant islands with a favorable climate, also have some vision of a different future from today.
Someone dreams of launching a reality show, someone - a line of designer clothes. In the meantime, there are pictures from gourmet restaurants, and they are made as cheerfully as selfies with friends at McDonald's, and black caviar does not make them any closer to art. The envy of others is the engine of a good mood. Some peers of luxury show are outraged, others would like to live the same way, but they are unlikely to succeed without a daddy with billions. And there are only twenty "daddies" in Russia. And "beautiful" life is expected only forty-seven of their offspring.
According to teachers
Most often "golden youth", as they callchildren of we althy parents, studies at MGIMO, like their parents. The profession of the most chosen is management. Methodologists from the Ministry of Education collected contextual information to assess the cultural capital of first-graders.
One of the main criteria is the number of books in the family library. It turns out that schools with a higher status are attended by children who use the richest book collections. The children of we althy parents in Moscow, if they do not prefer institutions in London and Paris, study in Moscow gymnasiums and lyceums. The rest are in ordinary comprehensive schools.
Education
The second criterion is the education of the parents. In such schools, the mothers of students have more than seventy percent higher education. Fathers are much more likely to work in more prestigious jobs and leadership positions. In ordinary schools, the situation is completely different. But somehow it turns out that about seventy percent of we althy families almost completely lose their fortune when their children take over the business.
And grandchildren squander the fortune of their grandfathers, if their parents did not fully do it. And it's not even about knowledge. The younger generation, who grew up with everything ready, is not able to feel the responsibility that their parents felt when developing their business. They are brought up most often as party people. Rich kids - poor parents, it already sounds almost an axiom.
Why so
These children have everything, and therefore they don’t want anything, they don’t need to strain to achieve certain benefits. They had governesses and nannies, not kindergartens and nurseries. They rode onhot countries and have not heard of pioneer or sports camps. By the time of adolescence, they speak better English than Russian, but they do both poorly, because the vocabulary is small and there is no experience of wide communication.
They are sick of the colossal prospects of Cambridge and Harvard, they are bored. Their parents adapted to the modern world - rich, successful, correct, ambitious and educated people, are trying in every way to reveal the inclinations and abilities of their children, sparing no money invested in education and upbringing, as well as attention, strength and parental love.
Life Lessons
Excessive manifestations of care meet on their way most often a complete lack of goals, desires, ability to work. Children are mostly sociable and quite intellectually developed, but passive in all manifestations. They do not have a value system, and therefore it is difficult to find motivation and direct the child towards one goal or another.
They know exactly what they don't want - to make an effort. Such children need difficulties in childhood to overcome them, to develop independence. A person acquires his best qualities along with victories over difficult life circumstances, and the “golden” children of rich parents in Russia and abroad are deprived of this. The positive lessons of life, unfortunately, are much worse absorbed than the negative ones. And too much comfort will definitely slow down development.
The problem of choice
Knowledge and skills cannot be bought, this is not a ready-made computerprogram. Efforts are needed to perform routine work in huge volumes. There are, say, in England expensive boarding houses for the elite, who even in everyday life live there in a very ascetic way, with a strict disciplinary order and the most complete training program. There, the crown princes wash toilets and cook their own porridge, which does not interfere with academic success at all, it even helps. And it is very in vain that not all rich Russians take this experience into account.
Their own world is almost completely closed, children leave it for a short time and under supervision - to visit a music or art school, theater and so on. Otherwise, the life of the heirs of capital is extremely structured, despite the desire to satisfy the needs of the child, up to the most miserable. They are en titled to the best: personal and the best teachers in tennis and swimming, in foreign languages and other classes, everything is planned out to the minute. And some children fall into this routine, growing up prematurely, knowing exactly what they want.
